Subject: Setting encoding of pages in Capybara

Hi all,

Quick encoding question: say I'm trying to grab data from a Japanese page
using Capybara and Rack::Test, and I get badly encoded text in the response.
e.g. running this script:

require 'rubygems'
require 'capybara'
require 'rack/test'
require 'rack/proxy'

Capybara.default_selector = :css

class Japan < Rack::Proxy
  def rewrite_env(env)
    env['HTTP_HOST'] = 'l-tike.com'
    env
  end
end

session = Capybara::Session.new(:rack_test, Japan.new)
session.visit '/pickup/concert_more.html'
puts session.body

You'll see weird characters in the output, and I can't find nodes that
should be there with css/xpath. How do I set the encoding so that Nokogiri
parses the page properly?
